Microendoscopic discectomy involving the METRx
system was performed in 71 consecutive patients for
lumbar disc herniations between February 2002 and
August 2004. The mean age was 44 (range ; 24 to 73)
years and the male to female ratio was 40/31. The operated
disc levels were L5-S1 in 37 patients, L4-L5 in
26 patients and L3-L4 in 8 patients. All surgeries
involved only a single level and all disc herniations were

At the last follow-up, pain was assessed by the help
of VAS scores and patient satisfaction was evaluated by
a scale from 0 to 100 (with 0 being poor to 100 being
